We eventually arrive at our destination, a campsite close to the Chateau Chenonceaux by the river Cher. The next day we head out to the Castle with our bikes. The Castle is built over the River Cher and was once the home of the Queen Katharina from Medici. We stroll around in the beautiful garden and have a look in all the chambers inside. Interestingly, during World War II, the River Cher had been the line of demarcation between the occupied and the free parts of France. The Castle, had therefore exits to both sides and was used by the Resistance to smuggle large numbers of people into the free zone.
